It is probably best to keep the suit style and colour consistent throughout, with small differences created through the accessories, such as waistcoats and/or neckwear. It is not uncommon for the Groom to want to look slightly different from the rest of the group, although it is by no means compulsory. The average Groom’s wedding party will consist of around six people Groom, Best Man, Fathers and ushers. However, there are some popular conventions which you might like to take into account. What you do for your own wedding should be pretty much up to you. Here at DAPPER we like to think that the only rule is that there are no rules. SHOULD THE GROOM’S OUTFIT BE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER’S?.You don’t know what you might be missing! If that’s what you’re trying to achieve, then don’t discount tails on account of your height. The “morning suit” is the most traditional of wedding outfits for men with a timeless and elegant feel. Other styles of jackets, although not as long as tails, may actually appear to shorten your legs and with it your overall height. How often they are wrong! Although a tailcoat is longer than a standard jacket at the back – a properly fitted tailcoat should come to the back of your knees – the front of the coat is cut away and therefore shows the entire length of your legs. Here at DAPPER we get many clients who believe that a Morning Coat (or tailcoat) will not work because they are “too short”. There’s only one way to tell what will or won’t suit you: try it and see. If you leave it closer to the time there will usually be no problem, but better safe than sorry, don’t you think? So, the rule of thumb would be this: if you have very special requirements, either in terms of particular combinations of colour, style, pattern or size, have your order confirmed four to six months before the wedding date. Because we hold lots of stock available in each of our branches, last minute requirements or changes are usually easy enough to handle. As long as you don’t need one of those extraordinary sizes we can usually supply at very short notice. If you are not ready this early, don’t worry too much. Therefore, if you have had your entire group fitted by this time, virtually any requirements can be guaranteed. Typically, this means that we might need up to twelve weeks making time for those non-standard items.

Our policy is that we will make sizes specially, even for hiring, if you have given us enough notice (although sometimes a surcharge may be applied). The reason for this sort of timescale is that given this amount of prior notice we are able to guarantee size and style availability, even where an item is non-standard and may require special manufacture. Here at DAPPER we recommend that you place your order somewhere between four and six months before the wedding date (although some of our clients order anything up to a year ahead).

HOW LONG IN ADVANCE SHOULD I ORDER MY MEN’S HIRE OUTFITS?.Well thanks to the modelling skills of Mr Vernon Wicks (our bride, Laura's Dad) and the video skills of our Groom, Alex Spratt, we can show you how.
